Unable to access form in Designer View.

Hello,

I created a VB.Net Smart Device Application solution with only 1 project in
it.  The project has only on form that I created by selecting Windows Forms
from the Windows Forms Toolbox.  After writing and running the code, I
copied the entire Solutions directory to another folder.

When ever I go to the copied folder and open its solution, then look into
the  Solution Explorer, there "View Designer", only "View Code".  Therefore,
I am unable to look at my form in the Designer View.  I can view the form in
the orginal Folder.

This has happened to me with several solutions.  What I am doing
incorrectly?  How can I get my form back into Designer View?

The only other thing that I can think of that I did was that after I copied
the files to the new folder, I went to the properties of the solution, the
project and the form and changed the names.  I manually assigned the same
name to each of the following: the assembly name, root namespace, foldername
, solution name, project name and form name.

MS Visual Studio 2003
MS Development Environment 2003 Version 7.1.3.088
MS .NET Framework 1.1 Version 1.1.4322
Windows 2000 SP 3

Thanks,

Me

It happens to me in WinForms, VS cannot detect that the code file is a form
file.  The workaround I got is to Exclude the code file first and then
include it back again...

Hi,
go to the line...
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Backspace so it reads
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Fo

key in the 'rm' and up or down arrow - that should do it

Hello,

Thank you all for your suggestions.  You all gave me a hint as to what I
needed to do.  I actually forgot to add the following line:

Imports System.Windows.Forms.Form

Thanks again!
